Zephaniah - 3:4 Meaning

“Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:1-7 The holy God hates sin most in those nearest to him. A sinful state is, and will be, a woful state. Yet they had the tokens of God's presence, and all the advantages of knowing his will, with the strongest reasons to do it; still they persisted in disobedience. Alas, that men often are more active in doing wickedness than believers are in doing good.

“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
